The prospects of LeBron James returning to the floor are not very bright, since repports suggest his recovery will take longer than anticipated.<\/p>\n
The 38-year old hasn’t played since late February, when he picked up an unpleasant foot injury.<\/p>\n
The Lakers stars is in serious doubt for the playoff start next month, despite avoiding surgery.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeBron is not close to returning from what I am told,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Brian Windhorst said on his Hoop Collective podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that everyone said the three weeks, but I think it was very clear that three weeks is when he was going to be given an official re-evaluation. It didn\u2019t mean he was coming back in three weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know LeBron has played through injuries in the past, but I\u2019m not 100% sure this is an injury you can play through.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Lakers are far from certain for a playoff spot, especially after their dramatic last-gasp loss to the Mavericks. They currently sit in 10th place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
